Tuen Mun used to be a rural area. At a time when the population had swelled dramatically with refugees from China, many of them living in substandard housing, the government launched a plan to provide modern housing to the masses. As part of this policy, Tuen Mun was developed as a new town from the early 1970s. Land was reclaimed from the sea in order to provide space suitable for development. Much of Castle Peak Bay was filled in. The first public housing estate in Tuen Mun was Castle Peak Estate, completed in 1971, which has since been demolished.
Construction of the Tuen Mun New Town has been basically complete since the turn of the millennium, with most of the public housing estates built before then. Two newer estates are Lung Yat Estate, completed in 2013, and the Yan Tin Estate, completed in 2018 at the rural fringe of the new town.
